My name is Mable but at the Centre I'm known as the 'Marvellous Mum' - although that name does make me blush!
I was wandering the streets lonely and unhappy when somebody took me into the vets. They found out that I had an injury and that I was pregnant - all this made me quite miserable! Luckily they fixed my wound right up and the RSPCA sent me to live with my foster mum while I waited to have my kittens.
I gave birth to four beautiful babies - three lovely tabby girls and a black and white boy. However the day after I had my babies two more turned up! It turns out that some day-old kittens had been abandoned. Now because I had just given birth the staff thought I might be able to help out two of the others.

They brought the other two to me (two black and white girls) and they just felt like mine from day one! I had enough milk to take them on and they were exactly the same age was mine, so I didn't mind at all - they became part of our little family straight away.
We're now all back at the Centre and I'm slowly saying goodbye to my family - Edna & Mildred have already gone to their new home together, Bert and Vera are staying together and so are Bettie & Winifred. It's sad to say goodbye but I know they'll all be well loved and it's time for them to grow up - which they can't do with me because I'm too soft on them and still let them feed on me! At least once they're gone I can find a new home of my own, and I can start putting on some weight once I've only got myself to feed.
I love people (and food!) so please come and see me and give me a chance. The staff say soon I'll be going to see the vet who will make it so that I can't have more kittens. Although I love my little ones I have to say I'm relieved - it's very tiring having babies and I really don't want to do it all again. I'd much rather settle down in a nice home with a cosy bed, toys, lots of food and perhaps another cat to play with?
Come down and meet me! :) xxx
